    • Synthetic Rope:Synthetic rope is usually durable and easy to clean but may lack softness. It is suitable for situations that require stronger support and control, and it is also a preferred choice for advanced techniques.
      2.Rope Length&Quantities:

        Choosing the appropriate rope length is crucial for Kinbaku. Generally, the rope length should be long enough to cover the area you want to bind, while not being too long to avoid increasing the difficulty of weaving and handling.

        • Standard Length: A rope length of about 8-10meters is the most common and versatile choice. This length can be used for basic techniques as well as complex weaving and tying methods.
        • Quantities:Typically a kinbaku performance may require the use of 4 to 8 ropes. This depends on the skill of the performer, the style, and the desired effect. We recommend beginners to purchase a starter kit, while advanced practitioners can use an advanced kit. However, if you want to go all out, a master kit can fulfill any performance and training needs.
        3.Rope Diameter:

          The diameter of the rope directly affects the feel and appearance of the binding. Thinner ropes are suitable for delicate work, while thicker ropes are better for providing support and strength.

          • 6mm : This is our gold standard. 6mm can be used for all things rope bondage: intricate knot work. erotic macrame, layering, weaving, suspension, effective restraints, etc. The list goes on as long as your creativity.
          • 4mm : We say 4mm is for the “tips and bits." It's great for tying hair, fingers, toes and the naughty "bits." It is also perfect for detail work, accenting larger ties, and sneakily wearing under clothing.

            Before engaging in Kinbaku, it is recommended to carefully consider your needs and preferences when choosing ropes. Additionally, always prioritize safety, follow correct techniques and precautions to ensure a positive experience and interaction. May you find beauty and enjoyment in the world of Kinbaku!
